Soroka (2-1) picked up the win Wednesday against the Mets, allowing just one hit and one walk across 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Soroka was brilliant in his first start since May 12, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning and outdueling Jacob deGrom en route to his second win of the season. The strong outing should ease any lingering concerns over the shoulder inflammation that kept Soroka on the shelf for close to a month. The 20-year-old now owns a solid 2.57 ERA and 19:5 K:BB through his first four big-league starts. He only threw 74 pitches Wednesday but should be afforded a longer leash his next time out, which will come against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
